FORT KEoGH, MONT., Feb. lt-In round
numbers there were January LOO, 900 head Of
cattle and 5000 sheep on the ranges north
and south of the Yellowstone river within a
radius of 100 miles of this point. Up to that
date the stock had not suffered much from
the severity of the winter, but during January
and the half of February Just closing storms
have been of unprecedented frequency, and
the temperature has averaged the lowest for
fifteen years. 1t is not possible 10 accurately
estimate the losses, but they have been enOr
nous, in some places amounting TO practical
annihiiatiOn Of whole herds.
A Tongue River stOckman who has just re-
turned from an examination of his herd said

NEW YORK, Feb. i0-When Jacob Hohe.
last July took his pretty wife, Rosie, to live at
No. 30 Eldridse street, his neghbors said he
was the luckiest man in the world. She is a
pretty brunette with waving haIr and Jet black
eyes. Before the wedding cake had been eaten
she was installed in the saloon Of her husband
IN the basement Of the Hohe dwelling. She
proved a mascot 10 her husband. as men
who had never drank beer before cultivated
the habit just TO get an excuse for visiting
ms bar and have Rosie draw the foaming bev-
erage for them.
Hohc, however, did not remain merry. The
-lanceS which his CAV young wife cast upon
the customers made him very unhappy. He
resolved to destroy his vife's beauty and for
ever bar all possibilities Of further ANNOYANCE
Accordingly yesterday afternoon he went 10 a
drug store at Delaney and Eldridge streets
ami bought bottle Of cologne and a bottle of
vitriOl. Returning home he was met by Rosie
at the door Of the saloon. She was radiant
with smiles; and when he said. Come into
the kitchen, have something for you.n she
followed him so quickly that every bottle In
the place danced "A Jig
Take this bottle Of cologne" said Jacob
with a smile on his face but Just as Posie
reached out her hands he seized her and dashed
the viIriO into her face
The unfortunate woman sbriaked with agony
and called aloud for help. s,veral persons
rushed 10 her aid and in the eHcitement Of the
moment her husband escaped, but Policeman
Reap found him in the baseme of 30 FOrsythe

Of breaking, extending as a solid glacier five

A Desperate Rattle.

mander at Massowah, reports as follows
BOretti, commanding at Saati, on January %,
at II a. m, saw the heights occupied by thou
sands OF Abyssinians, who disappeared on the
firing OF some shells Boretti sent out a party
under Lieutenant Como who surprised and
erNaged the enemy. The latter advanced in-
trepldly on all sides To within 800 yards of the
Italian positions. There was desperate fight
ing until 3 O'Clock. when the enemy retreated.
Borettti applied for reinfOrcements and Jene
sent a column under Colonel Decristoforis
The column was delayed by difficulty in
transportation. DecristOfcris asked for more
men and guns.
While the latter reinforcements were on the
way it was learned that the DecristofOris
party had been massacred after forming a
square, defending themselves to the last man
and cartridge.
The relief party found the bodies lying in
the order In which the men fought and the
enemy retiring. Many corpses were mutilated.
